26 October 2017 the International VERA Secretariat together with its experts of the International VERA Commission for Air Cleaning Technologies welcomed around 25 stakeholders to discuss the revision of the test protocol and the new VERA verification scheme.

25 October 2017 odour experts from specialized test labs and science from the VERA member countries Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands came together in Hanover for an international VERA Odour Workshop.

The 3rd edition of the ManuREsource conference from 27 - 28 November 2017 in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) focuses on recycling economy topics in the agricultural sector with regard to an optimized manure management.

From 04 - 06 September 2017 VERA and especially the revision of the VERA test protocol "Land application" was presented to a broad audience of scientists, authority representatives and other stakeholders within the framework of the 17th international RAMIRAN conference in Wexford, Ireland.

Odour measurements hold their challenges, especially when it comes to certain application areas. Exchanging experiences and sharing results of the latest research on new measurement methods for odour to find the best suitable method for each application area - these are the targets for an upcoming VERA workshop.

At the beginning of June the International VERA Board came together in Veldhoven, The Netherlands, to agree on the future strategy and VERA organisation in terms of opening the cooperation to additional member countries.

BioCover's SyreN system for manure acidification during land application was the first system ever to receive a VERA Verification Statement in October 2012. In the process of time the system was further developed and some adaptions of the construction were made.

The use of air cleaning technologies as well as process-integrated emission-reducing measures gain increasing focus in livestock production, especially with regards to the new edition of the German regulation 'TA Luft' and the BATs.

As of today, German speaking stakeholders can read the "General VERA Guidelines" (GVGs) in their own language. The GVGs are the official document regulating the uniform procedures for a VERA verification for all VERA member countries.
